Thanks, I have been working on these cords for a while now, however, at what speeds are normal for these cords. Most likely the dumbest question you will ever receive but most of the tabs say nothing of speed. They show the lead picking and the back up cords but never say how fast or what style of strumming should be used. Thanks, Gene Knights
